A Quick Review: I didn’t realise how funny a ‘family’ film could be until I saw Home Alone. As a nineties I’d heard good things, of course, but the film was definitely better than expectations. 

I found myself laughing uncontrollably and felt like a kid again. 

I can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before! I’m so glad I saw this - I only wish I could have enjoyed it when I was younger as well.

Good family fun with a heart; it may be predictable but it is pretty funny all the same.

Score: 7/10
